He makes it seem more difficult than it really is to adjust the cleat position for SPD-SL. I also think he's putting too much emphasis on the cornering clearance of these pedals. If he cares so much about pedaling through turns then he should get a frame with a higher BB and/or shorter cranks. Also, I've been riding one sided pedals long enough that clipping in is automatic, a total non-issue, and I ride in city traffic all the time.
